Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” on a violin? Yes, Nina DiGregorio of Femmes of Rock absolutely crushed it on a custom 7-string fretted electric violin. “My journey to learn Eruption began a few years ago, when I only had access to a 5-string fretless violin. I wanted to sound like Eddie. Thus began my journey with the 7-string fretted violin. Pretty much the entire reason for having this instrument custom-made was to see if I could play Eruption.,” she said, and wow —mission accomplished!
